As someone who has been saving for a property in Spain for many years and who has lived in Madrid this video is very good. When you’re buying a property you want to know everything especially the area… warts and all. Keep up the good work and wish the mrs a speedy recovery 💪👍

Great video Barry. You wouldn't believe how many people suggest I go do the squatting thing given my situation. But I just can't imagine breaking into property, causing damage or loss of value or utility to a property owner. I'll stick with my tent on empty land, despite the Guardia Sizzle's recent behaviour.

Yes, I was there in Torrevieja about 3 weeks ago. I had a walk around and to be honest, I felt depressed looking at those buildings.

Always good to show these things Barry. I think the graffiti is pretty bad now in many parts of Torrevieja. I have raised it with the Council a few times and they just don’t seem to take the issues seriously enough. Torrevieja has always had some graffiti in the 22 years I have had a house there, but do think it has become worse. I was in Malaga recently and it is much the same there in parts and even on Historical buildings which is unbelievable. Sadly it is a cultural thing that seems to be accepted and tolerated which is sad. It doesn’t help tourism and does not help the locals. As far as squatters are concerned they seem to be everywhere now where there is an empty space, they fill it. Always watch all your videos with a lot of interest. Keep up the good work

Spot on video that. Goes to show it’s the same the world over . I remember being in Las Vegas years ago and the strip is amazing and Fremont st also impressive but the bit in between both you wouldn’t go walking around especially not at night. There were bail bond shops everywhere so it did tell a story.

Arrived back on Friday from a week in Torrevieja. I must admit does it look worse in the rain on your video. We had a week of sun. The graffiti is an issue in the town but there was very little in the way of litter and not as much dog poo as I was expecting. North and South of Torrevieja are places like La Mata and La Zenia which are much tidier.

@@philomenahutton8710 l had a house there then, and Torrevieja certainly wasn't a "fishing village". It was huge with sprawling new areas over spilling off the chocca block Torrevieja with its lnternational Marina, huge lndoor Fruit/Veg/Fish Market, the latter now sadly closed l believe!

Hi mate, for a good two years now ive been eyeing to purchase an apartment for holidays and a bit of short term renting out. November next month ill be visiting again. Despite all the crap with squatters and graffiti, would you recomnend to purchase? And do those filthy squatters normally go after holiday homes as well?

On that very run down street 18yrs ago was a small family B&B. The dowstairs was for the family & upstairs for guests. We had memorable times there & it's such a shame to see it as is is now. Also back then, the street after to the left & right was full of cheap shoe shops & lingerie shops. Are they still there?

Sadly squatters are all over Spain which they try and keep quiet. You get no help from Guardia Civil from first hand experience . Had squatters in my wife's dad's fiat in Galicia. As we were in Torrevieja at the time, done an anunsia at police station but weren't getting anywhere. No language barrier as wife is Spanish.

@@EVO_777 we got in touch with a group called Desokupas thru WhatsApp and paid them to get rid of the squatters. It was all done in over a month. They secure the flat and give you the keys. Best money we spent.

Interesting video Barry but as you say, every town has it's dark side. Even Benidorm has a very dark side and it's called Playmon Fiesta. One of the first high rise developments built in Benidorm in th early 70's. Bloques F and G are a definite no go area full of squaters, criminals, drug dealers and prostitutes.Even the Police don't go there. A frightening place.
